Workshop Testimonials
“There is a meditative, sensual quality to both the prints and the printmaking … you can see that initial spark, that god-shot, and know that you will not be swallowed up by the artistic process. (It) can be learned in a manner of minutes … you walk through the door, however far you want to go, or as little as you want. (The process) becomes individualized right away … allows for productivity, for immediate results…” Charlotte Miller, Miami. This class was a great reminder of how much color influences my life and my feelings. The serendipity of the ‘art outcomes’ reminds me to let go and just let it all happen! … you are tremendously encouraging and it’s such a relaxed atmosphere, I’d change nothing! …” A. P., Saranac Lake, NY
“Simplicity and beauty. You are so enthusiastic and allow ideas to breathe naturally. I love that “beautiful items” can be anything from sentimental to garbage you found on the street yesterday. Delicious meal …” S. A., Saranac Lake, NY

They learned to create relief prints; use non-toxic, soy oil based professional printing inks; the history of Eastern style relief prints; and experienced blending of primary colors. Their ten page art book matched five prints with five short descriptive word images. At the culminating event, open to the public, each participant read one of their word images with the matching print on display. Their art books and a selection of their prints were exhibited at the library for the following thirty days.
